We had the best time staying at The River Stables. The area was incredibly beautiful and safe with lots of space for the kids to play and be kids. The River was far enough away that we could even let our three year old play and not panic that he would be in danger. We were close enough to all the activities in St. Louis but still far enough out that we had privacy and peace/quiet. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to all of our friends. The Kitchen area was galley style but we were still able to prep our meals and have plenty of room without stabbing each other for space infringements. The beds were all clean and comfortable. The mattresses are memory foam and cradle your body. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The living areas and the play areas exceeded our expectations. The host provided lots of games to play and several other things to do while at the house. This was definitely the best VRBO we have stayed in. The host was punctual with communication and we had everything we needed during our family vacation. Since we were there in the winter and the temps were very cold, we didn’t have the opportunity to do many water activities; But it definitely was a great option given we had warmer weather. The surrounding area has lots of thrift stores and shopping centers. There are several museums and local sites to see. We highly recommend grabbing Breakfast at The Shack if you have time. All of the food we had was delicious and came out quick.

This property is a great get-a-way to have peace and quiet. It is on several acres of property, so it was perfect for our 3 dogs. It is a short 20 to 25 minute drive into town, which has lots of cute shops and restaurants. We would love to come back some time and bring our kids and grandkids. This place is very spacious for families. It is also on the river front, which is great for fishing!

Christmas Down by the River

Since our son moved to St. Louis last summer, we decided to spend Christmas week down there with him. The house was perfect for our vacation! We really appreciated that there was a Christmas tree and decorations throughout. The house had everything we needed and it was very comfortable. We enjoyed just watching the river flow. The house was only minutes from civilization, but yet very secluded and very, very quiet.

Beautiful views!

We had a blast at this property! It was the perfect space for our group. The views of the river were gorgeous and I loved being in our own little private area.
